2. History of Pop Art
Pop Art was a visual art movement that emerged in the 1950s in Britain and the United States.
It was one of the biggest art movements of the twentieth century and is characterized by themes and techniques drawn from popular mass culture, such as television, movies, advertising and comic books.
It was easy to understand, easy to recognize because it was iconic and accessible to the mass public. Pop art is sometimes considered to be very academic and unconventional, but it was always easy to interpret.
The 1950s were a period of optimism and a consumer boom as more and more products were mass marketed and advertised
